Hey,

what kind of problem do you want to simulate? Can you maybe try to use the standard icoFoam solver and see if it lets you simulate passed the current time?

Well I tried using the icoFoam Solver...Still its increasing the time precision to 18..


--> FOAM Warning :
From function Time:perator++()
in file db/Time/Time.C at line 1055
Increased the timePrecision from 6 to 18 to distinguish between timeNames at time 12.1401
Time = 12.1401000000000003

Courant Number mean: 0.0076843727 max: 0.070992469
smoothSolver: Solving for Ux, Initial residual = 0.00017927652, Final residual = 9.515912e-009, No Iterations 1
smoothSolver: Solving for Uy, Initial residual = 0.00046194189, Final residual = 1.477745e-008, No Iterations 1
DICPCG: Solving for p, Initial residual = 0.04602532, Final residual = 9.436656e-007, No Iterations 734

I wanted to solve the energy equation to calculate the Nusselt number. That is why I had to modify the icoFoam solver.

Thanks!!

hey,
Here's one more problem that I've come across. This is completely unrelated to the previous problem about timePrecision.
When I check the time steps that have been saved, the last time step is 3.35. The solver is currently at 7.1175 sec.
Here's my controlDict

My question is why is it not saving the subsequent time steps? I fear I won't be able to view the results once the simulation is done. In the middle, I had stopped the simulation and changed the writeInterval to 200 but then reverted to 20 almost immediately. Before that, it was saving the files according to the controlDict writeInterval of 20.

Okay I think I got my answer to the last question. I changed the writeControl ti timeStep and its saving data as expected.
